Final Lit Circle
Prep Time- Take a few minutes to make some notations or bookmark some passages in response to these discussion starters:

How did the author present this information to the reader? What methods of rhetoric did you notice that helped this author to further his/her purpose?
For that matter, what IS the author's purpose?
As a literary critic, what would you say about this author and this particular text? Was this work effective?
